The Importance Of Skin Health: Why Healthy Skin Is More Than Just Appearance?

We live in a world where we’re bombarded with images of people with flawless complexion, and you get worried that your birthmarks, pores, freckles or blemishes mean your skin isn’t in tip-top condition. 

In fact, very few people have “perfect” skin. We’re all prone to areas of pigmentation, acne or redness. 

WHAT DOES A HEALTHY SKIN LOOK LIKE? 

Healthy skin is warm but not hot or inflamed. It feels relatively smooth rather than dry and flaky or moist and too oily. Healthy skin is well hydrated and nourished by a healthy diet. It is also protected against sun damage.

We often hear about the importance of having glowing and flawless skin, but did you know that healthy skin goes beyond just looking good? So, it’s important that you do what you can to protect your skin throughout your life.

In this article, we’re going to be talking about why skin health matters, how to better support your skin health, and treatments to give your skin an extra boost.

WHY SKIN HEALTH MATTERS?

Your skin health is important not only for your appearance but more importantly because your skin, the largest organ in your body, performs so many essential tasks for your body.

The most important is to protect your body from external dangers such as bacteria, chemicals, foreign objects, dirt, temperature or UV rays from the sun.

The nerves in your skin also give your brain important information about things you come into contact with. Is an object hot, cold, soft, hard, blunt or sharp? – which can quite literally be lifesaving.

And that’s not all. Your skin plays a key role in regulating your body fluids and temperature. It can help to prevent excess fluid loss but also remove excess water and salt. In addition, it’s your first defence against disease and infection, and even protects your internal organs from injury, not forgetting, protects us from UV radiation by producing melanin.

With so much work to do, your skin needs care and attention to ensure that it’s as healthy as possible.

HOW TO BETTER SUPPORT YOUR SKIN? 

Give your skin what it loves

Your skin loves being nourished by a well-balanced diet. Did you know that what you eat can have a huge impact on your skin? 

Let’s start with Vitamin C.

Fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C are among the best foods for skin repair because this well-known vitamin is a potent antioxidant associated with brightening and anti-aging skin benefits.

Vegetables and fruits high in Vitamin C include:

• Broccoli
• Kale
• Spinach
• Oranges
• Guava
• Papaya
• Lemon

Drinking two to three litres of water a day also helps our skin to stay well hydrated.

CARING FOR YOUR SKIN HEALTH GOES BEYOND A WELL-BALANCED DIET 

Aesthetic treatments that give your skin that extra sparkle and boost your confidence

But hey, sometimes we need a little extra help to achieve our skin goals, and that’s where aesthetic treatments come in. Like sambal is to a sumptuous pack of nasi lemak, aesthetic treatments are the secret ingredients that help fix the skin to enhance your natural beauty.

From luxurious facials that pamper your skin to high-tech laser treatments that zap away imperfections, the world of aesthetic treatments offers a range of options to address specific concerns such as:

• Premier Quick Skin Fix
